how's this for a possible scenario - McCains VP chosen for President.
As Hillary now realises that if you snooze you loose (I think she really believed it was all over by SuperTues in her favour), she is angling for her next opportunity and in 2012, it's always been all about her personal ambitions and fuck the little people - it's a Clinton thing.

And now she seems to be doing everything she can to taint Obama's run against McCain in November and have McCain as president to run against - on which she looks upon as an easy victory in the next election. She'll have to wait for 4 more years, and that has her a pissed instead a slather (damn that Obama!). but this is her Plan B. Plan B made after Plan A was obviously not going to fly.

On a separate note, if McCain is elected and has some health problems, etc., or even a purposeful rePug plan all along, to drop out during his term - the keys will be handed to his VP.

Sneaky way to get a President that no one voted for.

We should watch carefully who that VP choice will be - could very well be the oval office resider.

5. they certainly have more in common than a Obama/Hillary one.
McCain, Hillary's pal - the same guy that called her daughter such awful names and now he has been fully forgiven for the sake of her political needs.

Shame on you, Hill. You can't even be loyal to your own flesh and blood, how can you be trusted with the best interests of the american people?

4. Nobody seems interested in discussing Big Mac's health issues
This time around the identity of the VP is more of passing significance. Why isn't anyone else talking about this possibility?

6. or under the guise of his health issues.
whether they exist to an extend that he would give up the Presidency, or not.

This would be a devious plan - and we know anything goes.

7. I suspect the powers that be in the Repub party
will have a very heavy influence on who McCain's VP will be. And if he gets elected something "unfortunate" happens to McCain in his first year or two, the VP chosen by the party insiders will march valiantly into the presidency and all the wingnuts will be pacified.

8. very possible, isn't it?
almost too simple a plan.
and we'll have Hillary to thank for it.

Who do you think will be chosen as VP? Has there been any talk yet?

11. No clue.
But I suspect they will try to find someone younger and more neoconservative, to balance out McCain's perceived weaknesses.

16. bush/clinton/bush/bush
instead bush/clinton/bush/clinton

the dynasty must continue - same difference whether it's Hillary or Jeb.
the keys to the archives and file cabinets will be safely in the dark powers hold, away from prying eyes.

15. You are correct, sir. The whole FL, MI debacle is about stealing another election.
